Questions

Paul asks, "Is there a store where I can buy and download movies legally? Even if they aren't new releases I would like to catch up on a lot of content that I have missed out on. All company seems to be pushing streaming and cloud everything which I don't want to do."

Most companies are trending toward streaming, but a few still offer downloads (albeit in limited form): iTunes, Google Play, and Xbox Video are all good options.

"Hi, I am a teacher and have quite a few low income students that go off to college every year without a lot of resources. Many programs are now using e-texts and I am wondering if you can recommend some low cost tablets that are good for new college students that would be more affordable than say, the iPad?"

EdenTheKing writes, "Hey, I have a question regarding the CPU fan speeds. Sometimes when I wanna play a game I need to set the speed of the fan to "performance" mode. That requires me to go into my BIOS settings and changing the power options. When its on performance mode the fan is very loud so I wanna set it back to silent after I'm done playing my game. How can I control the speed of the fan with restarting and going into my bios settings. Thanks!"

If you have a four-pin fan header on your motherboard, rather than a 3-pin header, this is the one you want to hook your CPU fan up to (as long as it has a four-pin connector, of course). Then you can set your computer to automatically adjust the fan speed based on performance. Alternatively, you can use some fan-controlling software do do it automatically, if you don't have access to your motherboard, or buy an external fan controller. See this article for more info on all your options.

How Do I Submit a Question?

Please keep your questions as brief as possible. This means about 3-5 sentences for emails and 30-60 seconds for calls and videos. Your questions can be specific, but broader questions are generally better because they'll apply to more people. For example, "how can I breathe new life into my old PDA?" is much better than "what can I do with an old HP iPAQ 210?" Either way, we look forward to hearing from you!
